Zero Truth from Ancient India or the Olmecs
It wasn’t an Islamic scholar who
Formulated that non-number zero.
No matter how much Muslims might want to
Deny that fact, the actual hero,
An ancient, not even slightly linked with
The Arab world, did it. The simple fact
Is pagan, not Islamic. So the myth
That all the world’s indebted to an act
Of Allah-fearing thought is just a pile
Of camel shit. No, wait. That’s far too kind,
Like saying Mohammad knew how to smile.
It’s better to know the truth and not be blind.
At least the camel turd is stinking real,
Unlike Islamic lies—which are just spiel.
